IT WAS a glorious day for Sandown Regatta yesterday (Sunday), and the seafront was packed with beach goers enjoying the traditional games and races.
Among the events were tug of war, sailing competitions, beach sports and the famous beer and tray race.
Hardy swimmers powered around the pier and dogs assembled for a fun canine contest.
There was also an impressive air-sea rescue display with the Coastguard helicopter, Sandown and Shanklin Independent Lifeboat and Bembridge RNLI.
In the evening, there was live music and a firework display.
